looks like we've done the same exact work in the meanwhile
i've managed to get the .exe like it's in lawena, could anyone test it it works?

(at least one of the two packages should work, probably stable one)

@Bv what i've figured out is that the initial author used launch4j to generate an executable so what i did was to install the latest release https://sourceforge.net/projects/launch4j/files/launch4j-3/3.50/launch4j-3.50-win32.exe/download and add this in build.gradle at the top:

def launch4j = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Launch4j\\launch4jc.exe"

then

gradlew.bat build

and there u go, exe in zip

Mac executable has been presently removed, it's likely done.

Thanks supra I'll update the release :)

Getting a "Failed to replace cfg files" error. Is there a solution to this?

I've allowed issues to be created now https://github.com/TheBv/lawena-recording-tool/issues
If you can post stuff there that'd be great. But otherwise try creating two folders in your tf folder called "lwrtcfg", "lwrtcustom".
If that doesn't fix it open an issue and we'll get talking there :)

It worked. However it ended up permanently deleting the files in my custom and cfg folders upon first launch. Every time after, it works as intended without deleting my custom/cfg files.

why is this getting detected as a trojan virus when I scan it?

Is it possible to make a fork of Lawena that's compatible with the current TF2 32bit executable so I can use the latest HLAE update with it?

Yep, this would be great to target tf.exe instead of tf_win64.exe

I've released a 32 bit variant. https://github.com/TheBv/lawena-recording-tool/releases/tag/v5.0.0
I'll get to making a version where you can switch the version within Lawena at some point. For now this should be fine.

I'm trying my ass off to get lawena and hlae to work but i cant seem to get it working. I tried the 32 bit variant but lawena cant find the executable.

Had few issues as well, but it works now; What I did was
- Completely remove HLAE, and reinstall it again (version 2.158.0.0)
- Go to Tools > Developer > Custom Loader:
Here make sure you point correct exe file for me. It looks as follows:

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf.exe

also have the following launch options:

-insecure  -steam  -game tf -dxlevel 98 -w 2560 -h 1440 -novid  -console  -noborder  -sw  

DLLs to inject is AfxHookSource.dll

Then, in lawena 32bit:
Advanced > Launch Mode > Launch using HLAE with -insecure

That what did it for me, hope it helps

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf.exe

-insecure  -steam  -game tf -dxlevel 98 -w 2560 -h 1440 -novid  -console  -noborder  -sw  

Thank you my love!! It worked like a perfectly!!
